Some Other Fellow.

Upon a certain Occasion, as the Editor OF the
Weekly JGbU0ck sat In his sanctum, young
man by the name Of John Smith rushed up
Stairs and Demanded that his Honor be cleared Of
q Vivid Stain. The JdbU0ck had announced that
someone by the name Of John Smith had been
sent Up for 30 days. This John Smith wanted
it known that be wasn't the John Smith, or
be would bring Great, Big, oyergrown Libel
suit
Certainly, with Pleasure" replied the Editor
Of the JabWOck. And he wrote that the John
Smith, Of Pumpkin Pie avenue, was not the
John Smith who Pounded his Aged Mother;
nor the Smith who stole q harness; nor the
Smith arrested fOr Bigamy; nor the Smith who
had Prize Fight; nor the Smith who SCI the
SaW-mill on Fire. In fact he cleared him of
al the crimes and ofenses on the calendar, and
the result was that Smith Stopped his Paper,
Withdrew his Advertising and Licked the
Editor.

bow, who gave his residence nj 1850 north
Thirteenth street, was committed yesterday
by Magistrate Clement on the charge oil
writing scandalous and libelous letters to
Lottie A. Sawdon and Mary j. Campbell
who live at 1867 north Thirteenth street.
Dolbow was arrested on Saturday, and
being unable to furnish $500 bail for his ap.
peHrance yesterday spent Sunday behind the
bars.
When the cAse was called Miss Sawdon
took the stand and unidentified letter
signed with Dolbow's name, and dated
March 18th, 1887. The contents were OF
such u character that the attorney for the
prosecution declined 10 read more than a
few passages to show It's character.
Miss Campbell identified another letter OF
the same style as having been received by
her, and also identified the writing as that
OF the defendant. Dolbow did not deny
the authorship OF the Questionable letters
and his ball WAS fixed ut 5000 IN each case,
which he was unable TO produce.
The ladies say that Dolb0w has been fol-
lowing them and annoying them In various
ways for some tim6 but they could give no
reason whatever for the persecution which
they had undergone at hts hands.

JERSEY STURGEON FISHERS

Philadeiphia praaa ar acial

BAY VIEW, N. D., May 23.-The meet
ing tonight Of the New Jersey sturgeon
| fishermen of Bayside was full of warmth.
The announcement by the Delawareans
that they had secured United States
marshal with IL deputies to police the
western side of the Delaware bay had
some effect in producing an excitement
similar to that of two years ago, which
was followed by the arrest of a number
of Jersey fishermen.
Last week pointed correspondence
took place between the authorities of
Delaware and New Jersey. In the letter
from the Delaware commissioner. Elwood
Norny, the threat was made that il New
Jersey men continued TO fish ON the Del.
aware side their nets would be copfis-
Gated and themselves subjected to arrest,
Governor Green, who has not familiarized
himself with the details of the fishing
middle, referred the matter to the law
firm Of Garrison Il French of Camden
who represent the state of New JERSEY in
the suit. They made brief but positive
reply. Duplicates of this letter were
sent to all the principal fishing firms
alone the New Jarsay aida OF tbc -iyo-
and the bay. scarcely had she fisAeiu OH
overcome the effects Of tho letter soMt
them than word VIA hrnrplH rDss the
bay that the United States marshal had
arrived with his seventeen deputies who
were ON the lookout for invaders from
Jersey. Several of the fishermen by acct.
dent on Saturday last had gone into the
| fishing ground of the enemy and thew
were warned off, but there were no
| arrests
Sunday was busy day among the
fishermen of Bayside. They spent their
leisure hours discussing their perilous
situation, and decided that a cali should
be sent out to bring the 81 members OF
tho Protective Association together at
once. At the meeting tonight il was de.
cided to employ Samuel Gray of Camden.
as an attorney, with instructions to de-
termine at once the constitutionality of
the law which prohibits the New JERSEY
fishermen from casting their nets in
Delaware Bay.
After the meeting G.. r.. Elkinton.
secretary of the association, said 1--WE

enough that the injunction issued by the

insist on claiming that all points ~ miles

the grant claimed. If they persist in an
moving nA when we are defended by an
Injunction OF the Supreme Court which
allows us to fish clean mp to the Delaware
shore, they are guilty OF contempt of

they please and We Jerseymen have no
law to prevent it,"
1t ia expected that Governor Green and
the state iiah commissioners will visit the
sturgeon fisheries this week and acuuaint
themselves with the details of the bust
ness, so that they can intelligently pre-
pare themselves for the attacks of Della
